Lando chose to be an array tactician, while each of the others practiced being an assassin. There was no need for a healer at all. In a four - support - one lineup, they needed to end the battle quickly, so it was better to all switch to damage dealers.
This time, Xingxing was also entrusted with an important task and chose the Ghost Blade. Among the other three people, two were assassins and one was a relatively squishy gunfighter.
Such a lineup might make others in the League think they were crazy. But after playing a few rounds, they found that the effect was really good. At least in high - level casual games, this lineup was invincible.
Just because they could win against casual players didn't mean they could win against professional players. Ji Siyue went to the official database and retrieved Breeze's lineup, set it as a shadow opponent, and let her team play against it for a few rounds.
Since they had never encountered this team in previous games, they could clearly feel how strong this team was just after playing two rounds. As a result, they were completely routed in the first two rounds, almost shattering the teammates' confidence.
Fortunately, Ji Siyue quickly noticed the problem and made some adjustments. She had the Ghost Blade unexpectedly equip a healer's skill, which could just make up for the lack of sustain and gain at least one more minute of advantage.
Don't underestimate this one minute. In a League battle, this one minute was extremely precious.
After continuous adjustments, they finally managed to come up with the most suitable lineup on the last day before the competition.
Before the competition started, Ji Siyue said, "Everyone should use this lineup at most twice. We specifically tailored a set of skills for them, but it doesn't mean they won't adjust against us. As for which lineup to use at that time, I'll make the choice according to the situation."
She looked down at her phone. It was already 10 p.m., so she urged her teammates to go to sleep quickly.
At a little past 11 p.m., Ji Siyue was lying on the balcony of her room, unable to help taking deep breaths.
She had been feeling a bit chest - tight these two days and didn't know why.
Suddenly, there came a "creak" sound from the side.
She instinctively turned her head and was surprised to see Qin Chengyao coming out from the balcony next to hers.
Apparently, Qin Chengyao was also surprised that Ji Siyue was still awake. The two looked at each other across the balconies and somehow started to laugh.
Ji Siyue: "You're still awake so late. Don't tell me you're nervous?"
"Who says I'm not?" Qin Chengyao laughed self - deprecatingly twice. "I go all out in every game. Even though I know my own capabilities, I still can't help feeling a bit flustered."
Ji Siyue adjusted her posture, leaned against the railing, and rested her elbows on it. "I know. It's no use for me to tell you not to be nervous now, and saying words like 'come on' seems to put too much pressure on you. Do you want me to give you a little privilege and give you a hug?"
After she said this, Qin Chengyao seemed to be silent for a while.
Then he did something that Ji Siyue never expected.
He suddenly stepped on the railing with one foot. After getting on the railing, he waved his hand for Ji Siyue to step back.
Seeing this action, Ji Siyue felt her heart pounding out of control.
Was this guy crazy?
There was more than a meter of distance between them. Was he really going to jump over?
"Are you crazy?"
Although Ji Siyue wanted to stop him, seeing that he was already on the railing and there was no turning back, she stepped back a couple of steps to ensure his safety.
Qin Chengyao stood there for a couple of seconds, then jumped towards her with all his might.
All of a sudden, he landed right in front of Ji Siyue.
Ji Siyue's heart still hadn't fully calmed down. When she saw that he had finally reached her, she couldn't help but reach out and slap him hard a few times. Her nose even started to feel a bit sour.
"Are you crazy? This is the second floor, and you're still wearing slippers. How could you dare to jump like this?"
There was a faint excitement on Qin Chengyao's face. "You told me to come over and hug you."
Ji Siyue: "Just because of my words, you don't even care about your own life?"
Qin Chengyao just looked at Ji Siyue without saying a word. Ji Siyue understood this look. Maybe this guy really could do such a thing.
On one hand, Ji Siyue thought this guy was crazy. On the other hand, she felt an inexplicable flutter in her heart. This feeling was even more exciting than jumping around herself.
She had no choice but to slap him hard one more time, then opened her arms and hugged his waist, burying herself completely in his embrace.
Qin Chengyao quickly hugged Ji Siyue back, with a serious look of contentment on his face.
"Lao Qin..." Ji Siyue said in a muffled voice. "I feel like I've changed."
"Changed in what way?"
"I feel like I'm not the same as I used to be... I'm afraid that everyone... because of my change..."
"You're always you. Even if your mood has changed, you're still you. You don't need to be flustered because of those non - existent things. Leave them to us. You've already done everything you can."
Ji Siyue nodded in his arms.
The tension of these five days finally eased.
When Qin Chengyao went back, of course he went through Ji Siyue's room. Otherwise, Ji Siyue wouldn't mind giving him a set of "Meteor Fist of Pegasus".
That night, Ji Siyue slept quite well.
Early the next morning, the team's bus was already waiting at the base gate.
The eight of them changed into their unified team uniforms and set off aggressively for the stadium.
Actually, there were games in the stadium every day for a month, but some teams had low popularity, so there were few spectators.
Although the outcome of today's game was less suspenseful as the strength gap between the two sides was relatively small, since GH was a popular team, the tickets for today's game were almost sold out.
Minghe's team arrived early and had already been doing the final debugging in the backup room. GH got stuck in traffic on the overpass. The moment their bus stopped in front of the stadium, there were already endless news stories about them throwing a tantrum.
Of course, they couldn't see these, because Ji Siyue had uninstalled all the news - viewing apps on their phones.
